Always make sure to validate the stability of the clocks you have set and keep the cooling and temperature of the GPU in check. If your main purpose for the stress test is to overclock the card, then the parameters you need to monitor are temperatures and clock speeds.
For that, you may require to either boost fan speed or underclock your GPU to efficiently lower the temperature. Always aim towards finding a sweet spot between temperature and high clock speeds. Below we have briefly reviewed in no particular order some of the top utilities used for Stress Testing GPU.
When it comes to the types of GPU stress tests, there are quite a few. Synthetic benchmarks are the popular ones out there.
They produce results by targeting all aspects of a graphic card instead of stressing any particular. And apart from synthetic benchmarks, there are stress tests available that focus on specific aspects such as temperatures or memory overclocking, or power draw. Depending on your requirement, you may need to go for one or multiple stress tests. If you want to stress-test your GPU for real-world scenarios, you can go for Unigine Heaven without a second thought.
It has been here for a long time now and is arguably one of the favorite benchmarking software for hardware enthusiasts and gamers. We recommend Heaven primarily for core clock stability. It provides you the option to pause high load scenes that essentially give you an upper hand over monitoring frame-rate.
You can use Heaven for heat testing as well. Additionally, it offers many previous results, so if you are someone who makes a lot of comparisons, you may like Unigine Heaven.

I like to run Vantage or another benchie to also test stability. Joined Oct 10, Messages 3, 0. Then play games with it. What does your friend play?

I played a lot with kombuster, furmark and occt. Joined Mar 9, Messages 0. Joined Mar 7, Messages 3, 0. I use Aida, Prime I may be forgetting a couple. But something has always felt a little off. I finally see what it was.
My build was missing a hotdog and its bun. I always do love learning from the pros. I placed it on a piece of parchment and instantly I notice a difference. I routinely check temperatures, loads and other info from my system. Thanks for the info. Page bookmarked.
